Change in Mountain Names Meets Strong Criticism

A proposal by several downstate lawmakers to change the names of Negro Mountain in Garrett County and Polish Mountain in Allegany County has been subject to strong criticism by local officials and historians alike.

The bill was introduced by several senators representing Baltimore. Champ Zumbrun, a retired forester who managed Green Ridge State Forest for many years, has researched local history and is working on a book on Maryland frontiersman Thomas Cresap. He has researched the background of both mountains and says he believes those downstate
lawmakers clearly must not be aware of the historical background.
